SuperBlocker vs NoirShield

Your ad blocker should block ads. Not watch you browse. SuperBlocker blocks ads and unwanted content in Safari and other supported apps and browsers on iPhone and iPad. No VPN. No subscription. No account required. PRIVATE BY DESIGN SuperBlocker provides the blocklist. Your device handles the filtering. The URLs being checked are not shared with the SuperBlocker app. When a server lookup is needed, Apple’s privacy-preserving URL filtering keeps the URL being checked hidden from both SuperBlocker’s servers and Apple’s relay. ONE PURCHASE. EVERY FEATURE. Buy SuperBlocker once and get every feature. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. No upsells. No personal data collection. No tracking. No signup. No notifications. 185,000+ BLOCKLIST ENTRIES Choose what to block: ads and malware, fake news, gambling, adult content, and social media. SuperBlocker uses more than 185,000 blocklist entries to filter unwanted content across supported apps and browsers. NATIVE FILTERING. NO VPN. Built on Apple’s URL filtering technology, SuperBlocker checks URLs on your device and performs private lookups when needed. SuperBlocker does not route your browsing traffic through a VPN or read webpage contents to make blocking decisions. Enable it once and keep filtering across Wi-Fi and cellular connections. INDEPENDENTLY BUILT Designed, engineered, and maintained by an independent software engineer. Requires iOS or iPadOS 26 or later. Blocking depends on app compatibility and blocklist coverage. Not every ad in every app can be blocked.

NoirShield is a network tool that runs entirely on your device. It encrypts your DNS lookups and can match them against blocklists stored on the device. Your traffic is never routed through a server of ours: there is nothing to relay it through, and your IP address does not change. ENCRYPTED DNS Resolve names over DNS-over-HTTPS or DNS-over-TLS. Choose from built-in encrypted resolvers or enter your own custom endpoint. Measure them on the network you are on and switch to the fastest. ON-DEVICE FILTERING Optional lists for ads and trackers, malware, phishing and crypto mining — 470,943 domains, matched on the device. Every list is off until you turn it on. You can import your own list and add your own allow and block rules, which take priority. DIAGNOSTICS Fourteen checks: reachability, IPv4 and IPv6, captive portals, latency, DNS resolution, DNS interception, DoH, DoT, HTTPS, TLS, QUIC, WebSocket and UDP. AUTOFIX Measures the network, applies a compatibility profile, verifies the result and remembers what worked for that network. NO ACCOUNT No sign-up, no sign-in, no subscription. Nothing about your lookups is uploaded. The activity log stays in memory and is gone when the app closes, unless you switch on "Keep activity after restart" in Settings. The app reaches our server for two things only: signed blocklist updates, and the connection tests while you are running diagnostics. NoirShield is not a country-switching VPN. It has no relay or proxy server, does not change your IP address and never decrypts HTTPS. On iPhone and iPad, iOS shows its own VPN badge whenever an on-device tunnel is running; NoirShield uses that tunnel only to hand DNS queries to the resolver on your device.
